This year's theme is "great ideas for every room".

Organizers hope you'll come out to get some ideas on how to update your home this spring. Also new this year, attendees can participate in a treasure hunt.

Stephen Tarter of Visalia Springfest said, "You grab a form when you come in and you find the 11 spots where they will stamp your form and 11 merchants are giving away something special like Panasonic theater or a two-day getaway or a spa day."

Springfest runs through Sunday. They're open from 10-am to 7-pm. The cost to get in is $7-dollars.
